The Ekranoplan The Soviet ekranoplan was a unique class of vehicles that combined features of ships and airplanes. It carried 6 P-270 Moskit anti-ship missiles with a range of up to 250 km. Its speed was up to 550 km/h, providing high naval interception power by combining its anti-ship missiles with its high speed.

☝️ “NATO was created as a tool for the Cold War to confront the Soviet Union and the so-called Warsaw Pact. Now, neither the Warsaw Pact nor the Soviet Union exists, yet NATO remains. The question arises: why? There is only one answer, no matter what they say: it is an instrument of the United States' foreign policy” - President Putin.

The SR-71 Blackbird wasn’t just fast… it was a machine that literally OUTRAN missiles. 🚀🖤 Here’s why this aircraft is still unmatched today 👇 The Blackbird could fly at Mach 3+, over 85,000 ft, with a skin temperature so hot the jet expanded mid-flight. 🔥 It leaked fuel on the ground because the titanium panels only sealed when heated at speed. 😳 Its engines—part turbojet, part ramjet—were so advanced that after Mach 2.5, the shockwaves did most of the compression work. Pure engineering magic. ⚙️✨ And here’s the crazy part: No SR-71 was ever shot down. Every time a missile was launched, pilots simply pushed the throttles forward… and outran it. 🏃‍♂️💨✈️ Built in the 1960s. Still futuristic today. A masterpiece that flew faster than the edge of human imagination. 🖤 What should I cover next? Another legendary aircraft? 👇🔥 📸 by ig/jet.nerd

Did you know that the Cubans shot down and killed an American pilot in 1962? Because our enemies could shoot down the U2, we had to have an SR 71 who proved over and over again that it could not be shot down. We need to remember Rudy Anderson. Also flying these missions was Major Buddy Brown who later flew the SR 71. Major Rudolf Anderson Jr. was the only combat casualty during the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, killed on October 27 when his U-2 spy plane was shot down over Cuba by Soviet-supplied missiles. As a seasoned U-2 pilot, his reconnaissance mission provided vital intel, but his death escalated tensions near the brink of nuclear war. Key Details About Major Anderson's Death: •The Mission: On October 27, 1962—known as "Black Saturday"—Major Anderson was flying a U-2F Dragon Lady from McCoy Air Force Base, Florida, on a reconnaissance mission over Banes, Cuba. •The Incident: Soviet personnel in Cuba fired two S-75 Dvina (SA-2) surface-to-air missiles, one of which exploded near his plane, killing him instantly. •Impact on the Crisis: His death brought the U.S. and Soviet Union closer to war, but it also prompted U.S. leaders to stop fighting and start negotiations to end the crisis. •Awards: He was the first recipient of the Air Force Cross, awarded posthumously for his bravery. Major Anderson's death was a turning point, as it caused both sides to realize they were nearing an uncontrollable conflict, resulting in the start of secret negotiations immediately afterward.

Iran will generally "produce missiles at a rate that will outpace the US and Israeli interceptor manufacturing," says @JonElmer. "It would suggest that a war of attrition could benefit, could favor Iran in this battle."

Pathans are nothing but tigers on paper and in their own delusional minds. It was a Panjabis who saved Pathans from Soviet Union. It was a Panjabis who broke the invincibility of the Soviet Army. It was a Panjabi and his war which HE won, not pathans!

BREAKING It was air to air missiles, not surface to air missiles which downed 3 US F15s in Kuwait Kuwaiti pilot launched 3 missiles, and shot down the jets, as per reports 😳

It looks like a spaceship. But it is 60 years old. This is the XB-70 Valkyrie. Built in the 1960s, it was designed to fly at Mach 3 (three times the speed of sound) and outrun a nuclear blast. It was so fast that the friction from the air heated the skin to over 600°F. To survive, the pilots wore pressurized space suits. But the craziest part was the wings. Once it hit supersonic speed, the wingtips would physically fold down 65 degrees. This allowed the plane to "ride" its own shockwave, like a surfer riding a wave. It used six massive jet engines aligned in a row. Only two were ever built. One crashed in a tragic accident, and the other sits in a museum. We haven't built anything like it since. Was this the peak of human engineering?

This ekranoplan earned its nickname “Caspian Sea Monster” because it was spotted by US satellites on the Caspian Sea, and its purpose and capabilities were initially a mystery to the West. It was one of the most unusual aircraft of the Cold War era.

Mullin: It wasn't a matter of if, it was a matter of when they would try to hit us with a nuclear weapon. Not only did we destroy their nuclear ability during the 12 day war, they were trying to rebuild it. It was evident they were trying to build a missile that could deliver it to the United States homeland itself

⚡️🇺🇦Today, the first massive strike with "Zircon" missiles was carried out in Ukraine, - a Ukrainian aviation expert ▪️Such missiles could become Russia's main weapon in subsequent strikes, Romanenko claims. ➖"Not a single one of the 8 launched "Zircons" was shot down. A new problem has arisen for us", - he says. ▪️The Ukrainian GUR claims that Russia has accumulated more than 200 such missiles.

.Noah Rothman: The reason this operation against Iran came together as fast as it did was because the rate at which they were building missiles became an emergency America could no longer ignore on top of the regime being at one of its weakest points ever.

We created a monster! A homemade vacbed costing approx £20 to create. We did not expect it to work so well. The vacuum created was so intense that neither of us could stay in it for long. We therefore aptly named it The Beast. Do NOT try this at home! You have been warned.

3/5 2. NO, James Baker's "not one inch" proposal (in 1990, not 1991, which is very significant) was NOT a quid-pro-quo for the dissolution of the Soviet Union, nor was it ever agreed to or put in writing.
